What chain and sprockets for CB750 K2?
« on: January 25, 2012, 02:38:51 PM »
OK, I'm lost here on what chain to use.  I have a CB750 K2 and I would like to change
the front sprocket to the 17 tooth.  I see that Hondaman recommends Diamond Powersports
Non o-ring chains in his book.  Where can I get one?  How many links do I need?
what brand of sprockets should I use.  I need a 530 chain, right??  Can someone
educate me on chains for the CB750?

A properly lubricated non-oring will last just as long on anything other than high HP bikes, I never buy orings anymore as I didn't find enough difference for the cost. If you convert to 520 the chains seem to be more reasonably priced.
